Repeatedly sound at GUI

[marsL]

Hello, can you help me to creat a download tool for Avira with continuous playing of sound in following script

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

_Main()
Func _Main()
; Window
    GUICreate("Window title",256,278,-1,-1,-1,1)
; BackGround
    GUISetBkColor(0xDE0007)
; Sound
    SoundPlay("Dogma.mp3",0)
; Buttons
    $Btn01=GuiCtrlCreateButton("Homepage of Avira",10,10,236,24)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1,9,700,0)
    $Btn02=GuiCtrlCreateButton("Updates",10,58,236,24)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1,9,700,0)
    $Btn03=GuiCtrlCreateButton("Downloads",10,106,236,24)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1,9,700,0)
    GUISetState()
; While
    While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
    Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    ExitLoop
    Case $Btn01
    ShellExecute("http://www.avira.com/en/for-home")
    Case $Btn02
    ShellExecute("http://www.avira.com/en/support-vdf-update-info")
    Case $Btn03
    ShellExecute("http://www.avira.com/en/support-download")

    EndSwitch
    WEnd
GUIDelete()
; Close
    Exit
; End function
EndFunc

I think this UDF can do it:

If it's just an mp3 you could use the native Sound UDF, see "Sound Management" in the helpfile.

You basically do:

_SoundOpen()

_SoundPlay()

While 1

If _SoundStatus() = paused then _SoundPlay()

Wend

_SoundClose()

No need for extra dll's unless you want to.

@OP, the above method has the unmentioned drawback of short gaps between stopping and starting the mp3. BASS library can do it without gaps. I didn't mentioned the _Sound UDf method because it is noob. Edited February 4, 2011 by Manadar

And BASS is extra disc space. They both have their (dis)advantages.

[jvanegmond]

I wasn't saying that either of the methods are perfect. The cost of disk space when you use extra files is obvious, the annoying gap when you're trying to loop a sound does not become apparent until you have tried it. To save the OP a failed attempt, I pointed out what does not become immediately obvious.

Such is the nature of providing assistance on these forums. You think ahead as far as possible and consider any decisions they are forced to take in the future. Sometimes the right decision is obvious, sometimes it needs to be explained.

Tracker music would be great too, with the dll included in the script.

Mods can loop, a mp3 file would have to be custom tailored for that, and it will still probably sound weird.

It would also sound more like the "demo/keygen" sound.

trancexx made an example of that <-- link
